This was my first volunteer experience in my life and I couldn't have asked for a better one! Staying at the hostel invited me to get in touch with so many new people from various places all the while learning and being immersed in new languages. Brendan (the host) was accommodating and tried to make sure everyone had what they needed. I worked in the restaurant which provided the opportunity to learn bartending, and practice my Spanish with the local community. Volunteering here was a great time and Im glad I came! Thanks for everything the hostel!

I had a great time at the hostel, I wish I could've stayed a bit longer. Brendan is a great host, he means what he says and he says what he means. He doesn't really ask for a lot just good work and respect. The tasks for the hostel are pretty simple and depending on how many people are there to help you'll end up with a lot of free time. The atmosphere and the vibes were great, it was a very chill environment with very nice people. I would definitely recommend coming to the hostel and I'll definitely be back again.

A great volunteering experience, the athmosphere is relaxed and I liked that you work 3 longer shifts a week and then have 4 days off. The tasks are chill and easy, it's a great place to volunteer. Thank you!
